God and man? Can that be true? The man, Jesus, is God? Yes! This is the confession of the Christian Church. Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man in one person.

Part 1: Preparing For The Fight Series

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 1, 2019

I was raised NOT to fight. My Father told me since I was knee-high that fighting was wrong and that I would get a “whoopin’” if he ever found out that I had been fighting.

Thou Art The Christ

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2019

If Jesus wasn't the Christ, our faith would be in vain, and we would yet be without salvation. If He is the Christ, and we know He is, then He is the only source of hope for humanity. We all must deal with the question regarding the identity of Jesus. How we respond will affect our eternity.

They have traveled from Bethsaida to Caesarea Philippi. It is here that Jesus asked a fundamental question – whom do men say that I am? ...read more
